Question

Find the slope of the lines that passes through the points (-8,-11) and (17,4).

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

$m(slope)=\frac{4--8}{17--11}$

$=\frac{4--8}{17--11} \\=\frac{12}{17--11}\\=\frac{12}{28}\\\\=\frac{3}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line.

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given the points (-8,-11) and (17,4).

$\displaystyle m=\frac{4+11}{17+8}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{15}{25}$

$\mathbf{\displaystyle m=\frac{3}{5}}$
